‘I’m much more optimistic today than I’ve been in many years, as far as the economy is concerned” Says Emir of Kano

“What the government has
done by fighting insecurity and corruption provides an environment where
government policies can thrive.
The recent steps that have been taken
by deregulating the oil sector,  liberalizing the Forex market, meeting
with economists, and setting up a proper economic team, suggests that
there is now attention focused on real economic issues. I am much more
optimistic today than I have been in many years as far as the economy is
concerned. We are going through a difficult time. We are always bound
to go through difficult times when the oilprice crash and with all the
mismanagement of the past but I think right now, we are finally about to
turn a corner. We need to be realistic, nobody should expect overnight
that things will change. Inflation will be with us for sometime,
recession will be reversed gradually”he said
